GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR UNDERGROUND SERVICE

Space Requirements 1. The unobstructed space required in front of termination compartments, transockets and metering equipment

shall be as defined by the "Working Space About Electrical Equipment", Section 110.26, of the National Electrical Code (as adopted by the states of Michigan and Wisconsin). This unobstructed space shall extend from the floor or ground to a minimum height of 6'-6". For equipment higher than 6'-6" this space shall extend to the top of the equipment.

Service Laterals and Entrances 1. Service laterals are furnished and installed by the Company. 2. Service laterals will generally be terminated in a meter pedestal, meter socket, transocket or termination

compartment. Customers shall obtain information from the Company relative to the proper location of the service lateral and termination equipment. Such information will be furnished in writing upon request.

3. The preferred termination of service laterals is on the outside of a building (or structure). Service laterals that terminate inside of a building shall terminate immediately upon entering as shown in this manual. The raceway for service laterals under or thru a building shall not extend longer than 8' after penetrating the outside wall. Services that terminate in a mezzanine are allowed a maximum length of 14' measured from grade.

4. For services, generally 2000 Amperes and larger, and with Company approval, the service lateral may be terminated in the customer's switchgear or on the customer's bus duct. This type of installation is further restricted by the following: a. Customer shall provide all necessary plastic conduit encased in 3" of concrete for the extension of the cable

within his building (see Note 3 above). b. Customer shall obtain Company acceptance of the switchgear terminal and C.T. compartment (if any)

design. Three copies of the switchgear plans shall be submitted to the local company office for acceptance. The plans must show the general layout of the switchgear, the switchgear location within the building, and the specific details of the termination compartment and any C.T. compartment(s). Specific details such as compartment size, bus spacing and drilling dimensions, other clearances, bus & bus support configuration, barrier location, sealing provisions, and materials used are to be included.

5. Only meter mounting devices and termination equipment approved and listed in Section D of this manual are to be used. Additionally all equipment must be listed by a nationally recognized testing laboratory, e.g. UL, installed and used as per the listing and the manufacturer's instructions.

6. Where metallic rigid conduit or IMC is used for the service lateral raceway the ends are to be threaded and threaded couplings, connectors or locknuts are to be used. Slip type fittings shall not be used.

7. For outdoor service terminations with direct buried lateral, the horizontal portion of the conduit shall extend through a minimum of 12" of undisturbed earth where practicable, defined as follows: a. Undisturbed earth: The area not excavated for the construction of the building.(May be compacted fill.) b. Fill area: The area between the building wall and the undisturbed earth.(May vary from a few inches to

several feet or more). 8. Services to individual dwelling units shall consist of one service lateral and one meter.

Grounding 1. Grounding shall be in accordance with all applicable codes. 2. Stainless steel (A.I.S.I. 302, 304 or 416) ground rods are recommended where ground rods must be installed in

the vicinity of buried galvanized rigid conduit to minimize the possibility of corrosion. 3. The grounding electrode conductor shall not be run through the meter pedestal, meter socket, transocket, or

termination compartment, unless a separate raceway is provided. The grounding electrode conductor may terminate on the neutral bus of: the termination compartment for multi-metered installations provided it does not interfere with the installation of the service lateral conductors, or a meter pedestal equipped with a main disconnect and listed as Service Equipment.

4. Ground rods and grounding electrode conductors shall not be located in front of meter pedestals or wiring troughs.

5. Bonding to other systems shall not be done on or within a metering enclosure unless a means of bonding, intended for inter-system bonding, is furnished as part of the metering enclosure (PSC 114.099(C)).

Metering 1. This section details the requirements for underground service lateral terminations and connections. Refer to the Metering Section of this manual for details of the metering requirements for each installation.

POLICY ON SERVICES FOR COMMUNICATION TOWERS 1.0 NEW SERVICES We Energies policy is to provide one electric service to each tower site. This service must be sized

to accommodate present and future carriers that may have space on the tower with a meter position for each carrier. Applications for service to tower sites shall include information on each tower's capacity (i.e. total number of carriers the tower will accommodate). This information is a requirement for electric service to the tower site.

If additional carriers are allowed space on the tower and the size of the service or number of meter

sockets need to be increased, the owner shall be responsible for increasing the size of the service and/or the number of meter sockets. Additional services are not permitted.

2.0 EXISTING SERVICES For existing towers the owner will be required to install a multi-position metering bank to serve the number

of additional tenants that may attach to the tower in the future. Existing services installed prior to Friday, January 19, 2001 will be allowed to remain and after this date

additional service to a tower site must meet the requirements of Rule 1.0 above.
